When I’m not capturing your life’s moments, I’m witnessing crazy moments at 35,000 feet in the sky as a Flight Attendant. From Europe to Asia and places in between, I have enjoyed seeing the beauty of it all and taking pictures along the way. Since the day I received my point and shoot camera as a young girl I have taken pictures of EVERYTHING. I am in love with the wedding industry and feel so privileged to be involved in my couples' big day.

Heather did an incredible job photographing our wedding. We had a long day and a big family to work with and she did an amazing job capturing all of it. Helping us pose for portraits and capturing great action shots too. The photos we got back are so precious to us and beautifully edited true to color like we wanted. She also made us feel special every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Could not recommend Heather enough! She was easy to work with and made things feel stress free during our chaotic 2 day wedding. My husband and I absolutely LOVE our photos. Her attention to detail really set her photos apart from other photographers. Heather also provided quality photographs of our family, friends, decorations, clothing and unique parts of the ceremonies. I honestly couldn’t have asked for better wedding photographer. Thank you much for making our wedding weekend unforgettable.

Heather was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was able to capture all of my photo request and more special moments that I treasure so much. She was one of the kindest and most attentive vendors I have ever worked with! I really appreciated that she provided an engagement photo shoot with her package so we were able to get to know each other before the wedding and had a second shooter the day of the wedding! I would highly recommend Heather Richter Photography for any of your photography needs! I know we are looking forward to having Heather capture all of our future big moments!

Heather was so great to work with from our engagement pictures to our wedding pictures! She is so personable and listens to what you want. For our engagement pictures, she was open to stepping out of her comfort zone and taking pictures at our racetrack and she did an amazing job! For our wedding pictures, she got all the pictures I requested and got some extra ones that I didn't even think about. She got the pictures to us so fast and they were all phenomenal! Couldn't have found a better photographer!

I met Heather at a wedding vendor night in January 2021 in Waukesha Wisconsin. I spoke with her about my plans to have a very small intimate Monday evening wedding in June 2021. She understood my request and she responded that no job was too small. She asked me questions about the types of pictures that I wanted to capture. Since I didn't really know... I just wanted her to capture everything so I could remember my special day. During the wedding Heather fit in like part of the family. She was quiet and professional, and had a great eye for detail. The finished work product far exceeded ALL of my expectations. The quality of the digital photo album was fantastic. The album contained a variety of GREAT shots. I would definitely, highly recommend Heather Richter Photography services without hesitation. MYB

Every brides dream is to capture, through the lens, those magical moments that are filled with such inexplicable joy that the photo takes on a life of it's own. Heather captured those moments for us. A wedding day passes so quickly therefore the photos much preserve that feeling. Our photos are epic! I would highly recommend Heather. She was a joy to work with and her rates were better than all the other recommendations. Best to you Heather!
